Twitter’s map feature seems slow to the starting gate with little to no follow-through.

Digital Beat recently reported that Twitter finally turned on their map feature in the article, ‘Twitter turns on maps feature for its web site, but not for search”.  What is confusing people a.k.a. users, is that the feature isn’t turned on for searches, when the whole point of location-based search is to find out what is going on around your present location. The result of a search is full of noise from profile location and not user location. Compared to Google Buzz’s feature, Nearby, it is not starting out a winner.

The SSN Take: Time is precious for everyone in any type of business. Tools that are incomplete waste our time.
